| 0:00.0 | The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions. |
| 0:07.0 | Eagles fans everywhere. This is for you. |
| 0:12.0 | Let the celebration begin. |
| 0:16.4 | That sound you hear off the distance group? |
| 0:18.5 | Yes. That's Roger Giddell counting his money. |
| 0:26.0 | Yeah, based on what the NFL is proposing to do. It's all we care about. |
| 0:27.0 | Some big NFL news, it seems like... |
| 0:31.0 | And they'll just keep talking about player safety until they're playing 30 games a year. Yeah, it seems like they'll just keep talking about player safety till they're playing 30 |
| 0:33.3 | games a year. Yeah it seems like the 17 game schedule is going to happen not |
| 0:37.1 | this coming season but in the following season but the big news kind of, I guess, a little bit, based on ESP and Adam Shefter's report, is that the playoff format will expand to 14 teams, 7 from each conference conference and you only have one by week for each |

| 1:40.3 | Wild Card weekend is I don't think a wild card team has even made the |
| 1:43.8 | Super Bowl since the Ravens in 2012 and they want it and you know there was a |
